Germany’s Junge Freiheit reports that the Hamburg Regional Court (Landgericht Hamburg) ruled in November 2025 that ten climate activists from the group “Last Generation” must pay a total of approximately €400,000 in damages to an airline.

The activists were involved in a sit-in blockade of Hamburg Airport in July 2023. The climate activists cut through the fence and glued themselves to the tarmac. This action led to the cancellation of 45 flights and affected 8,500 passengers
The affected airline, reportedly primarily Eurowings (part of the Lufthansa Group), sued the activists for compensation. The court awarded the airline damages of approximately €400,000.
Some reports mention that, in addition to the damages, the activists could also face legal costs amounting to approximately €700,000.
If the activists fail to pay the sum, they face up to two years of Ordnungshaft (civil detention).
This is one of the highest civil damage claims made against members of the “Last Generation” following a protest action in Germany so far.
Seems that this is just the tip of a story that has a long way to go. Interesting though. Already 30 months. How many folks? How many lawyers?

They won’t pay and they will never be put in detention, what a farce.
Justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done.
If they want to reduce flights they need to go into G.E. and develop a new piece of RNA (with USA&China funds) and then release it in some shitty German meat market!
